If mod doesn't believe this belongs here, please delete.

Another spin for some of these....
The Complete Choros and Bachianas Brasileiras Heitor Villa - Lobos - Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra BIS As before highly recommended, 7 disc but very reasonable cost

Liszt transcriptions of the Beethoven symphonies, performed by Konstantin Scherbakov. Naxos 8.505219

I know... critics refer to these transcriptions charitably as "curiosities", but I've found that on a system capable of a creditable reproduction of a piano, these have grown on me. The Scherbakov are by far my favorites of the three sets I have of the complete Liszt Beethoven symphony transcriptions. Be careful, these can be habit forming.

Furtwaengler, The RIAS Recordings, Audite. The greatest Beethoven conductor of them all.

Orfeo ed Euridice- La Petite Bande with Marianne Kweksilber, Rene Jacobs, Magdalena Falewicz conducted by S Kuijken with Collegium Vocale (Accent). A personal favorite for music and sound engineering.

Beethoven: The Piano Sonatas, Vol. 6

Sonata #32

Wow, Gene, you dig Artur Schnabel?

Allan Petterssen's Sym no.8 as performed by The Baltimore Sym Orchestra conducted by Sergiu Comissiona (DG). Very special piece. AP should be wider known.

Corelli Violin Sonatas - Op. 5 on Hyperion.

Just downloaded this today - the very first time I've paid to download an album rather than buying the record/CD. Hats off to Hyperion - FLAC downloads, quality metadata, and PDF downloads of the the album booklet (and even the album front and rear covers!).

I like Corelli, too. I bought this very enjoyable set a month ago.

Although Reader's Digest doesn't usually inspire confidence of quality, this is a really nice box of all the standards + great bits and pieces. Death March of the Marionettes type stuff. I already had this set, but couldn't pass another one up for $5. 12 lps done by RCA engineered by Robert Fine and Wilma Cozart Fine of Mercury Living Presence fame. I'm about half way through.

Oh man - bought this for a buck 2 years ago and never opened it. I'll have to go find it.

You are going to be pleasantly surprised. Outside of the ubiquitous Nutcracker Suites, most of the collection is very well recorded and interesting music. Got it for a dollar, did ya? Not bad. They tend to be much like Classic Book collections- mostly unread. People think they are going to get some culture, but never get around to it. The favorites get played and scratched, but most of it gets one or two plays and never pulled out again.

Good not great. I see it reviewed at 4 out of 5 stars, seems right. But I love the piece anyway so I love this version as well.

I've got 4 or 5 recordings of the 7th and I keep pulling out the Bernstein/Chicago live version (my first exposure to the piece). Is this recording your favorite?
